Bad news for re-loaders and on-line ammo purchasers. Not only will there be rate increased but there will also be an additional $24.00 surcharge for all packages over 50 pounds.

50 lbs is a lotta powder. Or ammo.

I try to wait for promos.

Surcharge?

I mean they have shit stained shorts. They should pay us, the public, to be exposed to that.

Bullet manufacturers ship flat rate boxes, USPS. 70#. That's 490,000 grains.

Loaded ammo will only come UPS or Fedex

In New Yorkistan, all labor rates went up, expect EVERYTHING to cost more.

Many HVAC Manufacturers increased rates, anywhere from 4% to 6%. Rheem increased its product line 4.2%, across the board. many sheet metal products from Gray Metal, Hart-Cooley, Acme Metal, all went up in price.

Next year is going to suck as far as prices

All I can say is those drivers make a ton of cash. I know a guy that does it and years ago he was making $95,000. I talked to a lady who worked part time help and they pay her mileage and $22/hour. Clearly this is why.

I've gotten several 50+ lb ammo deliveries before.. one time I met the driver at the curb and he thanked me. Haven't ordered in a while though... haven't shot much so haven't needed to replenish.

This is all about greed and out of control unions!
